SFGTV Government Access Programming July 13, 2024

Lati. Supervisor haney and they shaped this into something that was truly connected to the actual needs within the system and on the ground, and so were confident that it can be successful, but were also very sure that theres a lot of work left to do. Its not fully funded yet. We have a commitment from the mayor, but we need at least 100 million a year, including startup costs, to be able to implement this. Its going to take a lot of work from the implementation committee, oversight and working together, potentially needed additional revenue from the public. So i know that the public is excited about this i hope they are, but theyre asking, well actually be excited the most about this when we see it bringing a change in our communities, and so thats going to be the next steps once it passes today. Im grateful for everybodys support and for everybodys leadership, and im excited about seeing this fully implemented and funded and lastly want to give, as supervisor ronen did, give a shout out to our staff, carolina in supervisor ronens office and abbie in my office. Must have seen this for the last seven months, and truly would not have gotten to this point without them, and the leadership of the Mayors Office in getting this down. This is the end of this part of it and the beginning of the next part of it. This truly transforms our works for everyone whos in need of Mental Health treatment, Substance Abuse treatment, or health care. President yee i want to thank supervisor haney for putting this forth, and not only putting it forward, and not only working with mayor breed, but with all of us in this room helping us shape what we think is a great solution to a serious problem in San Francisco, and that you certainly have my commitment along with mayor breed and many of us here in this room to find the funding necessary to really implement this initiative. And its one of those things where and im not where if im not able to be connected to this, im grateful, so thank you so much. Colleagues, can we take this same house, same call .

President yee supervisor fewer . Supervisor fewer thank you, president yee. I am proud to have worked closely with Assembly Member phil ting for the securing of these funds for an organization dedicated to expanding affordable hows will. In my own district over the last ten years, weve lost 500 units of lowIncome Housing as these buildings are sold on the private market. On the east side of San Francisco, there are several amazing nonprofit organizations that help stablize these buildings through acquisition and property management, but on the west side, we simply do not have the organizational capacity to meet this need. This funding will help us change that, and im so proud of Assembly Member phil ting for his commitment to preservation of Affordable Housing on the west side. President yee supervisor mar . Supervisor mar thank you, president yee. I just would like to thank supervisor fewer and assemb assemblyman ting for securing this state funding to support the growth, expansion and creation of a west sidebased Nonprofit Community organization dedicated to preserving and expanding Affordable Housing. In my word to aggressively expand Affordable Housing in my district, the lack of housing organizations has been challenging. We are grateful for the support of some organizations we have been able to partner with, like the Mission Economic development agency, which we work with to preserve housing for a dozen lowincome seniors in outer taraval through the first small sites acquisition in the sunset, but to move as aggressively as the resolution requires, we need more organizations focused on Community Development in the west side with understanding, relationships, and commitments to our neighborhood, so thanks again to supervisor fewer and assemblyman ting, and id like to be added as a cosponsor to this item. Thanks. President yee okay. Did you catch that, supervisor fewer . Supervisor mar wanted to be added as a cosponsor, and so do i. Thank you. Colleagues, can we take this same house, same call .

Clerk item 42 is an ordinance to authorize settlement of the lawsuit filed by manconia green against the city for 49,000. The item involves a dispute. President yee colleagues, can we take this same house, same call . Without objection, the item is adopted unanimously. [gavel]. President yee madam clerk, call the next item. Clerk items 43 through 48 were considered by the land use and Transportation Committee at a meeting on december 9, 2019. Item 40 was not considered as a committee report, and items 44 through 48 were. Item 44 is an ordinance to require the planning code to require at least half the housing in educator housing be three or more bedrooms, conditioned on the passage of proposition e during the november 5, 2019 municipal election and to affirm the ceqa determination and make the appropriate findings. President yee supervisor fewer . Supervisor fewer thank you, supervisor yee. This legislation is a small tweak to proposition e, which is passed by over 76 of voters in this most recent election. I would first like to thank my cosponsors of the initiative, supervisors peskin, haney and walton, as well as the mayor and all of my colleagues on this board for passing prop e and make sure the voters overwhelmingly passed it. We all know in this Housing Affordability crisis, we desperately need to create housing in all parts of the city. We are falling far short of our goals for low and moderateIncome Housing. In order to close this gap, we have been working to provide more funding for Affordable Housing and make it easier and faster to build. This board has been aggressively pursuing new Funding Sources for Affordable Housing. This includes legislation that i recently authored that all of you cosponsored which allocates 50 of excessive eraf funds for Affordable Housing. This will continue to add tens of millions more each year. We also unanimously passed legislation from supervisor haney to increase the job housing linkage fee and provide hundreds of millions in funding for Affordable Housing over the next ten years, and in this most recent election, we call worked with president yee and the mayor to put a 60 0 millin housing bond on the ballot, all of those approved by voters. That will help address the number one barrier to Affordable Housing funding. We worked with stakeholders to develop and pass Affordable Homes in educator and families now initiative, which later became prop e which made it easier and faster to build Affordable Housing in all neighborhoods across San Francisco. Oroffice began working on this legislation earlier this year to make it easier to build housing in all neighborhoods, building off the success of the sally legislation that former supervisor jane kim passed last year to make Affordable Housing a principlely permitted use in districts. We also worked with united educators of San Francisco to develop a Pilot Program for educator housing in San Francisco on land owned by the School District or city college. No one understands the actual needs of our educators better than the educators themselves, and we are proud to have partners with them on this initiative. In order to assure that these project serve the diverse Housing Needs of educators, the ordinance currently requires at least 30 of the unit in an educate Housing Project, 30 of units are two bedroom units and 20 are threebedroom units. The legislation before you today changes the unit mix so that 50 of all units will be two bedrooms or larger, rather than requiring a set percentage of threebedroom units. This will allow for more Design Flexibility while still assuring that projects are not just for single educators. I am excited to see new Funding Sources becoming available to build housing for educators including at the state level and in our local Affordable Housing bond, and i cant wait to see more Affordable Homes being built in my neighborhood and every neighborhood across San Francisco. I hope i can count on your support today. Thank you much to my cosponsors, supervisors mar, peskin, haney, safai, walton, and ronen. President yee okay. So i want to thank [applause] president yee so i want to thank supervisor fewer for her leadership in passing proposition e on the ballot in november, and for this legislation to ensure that the firstever educator Housing Project is able to benefit from the streamlining to get these units online. My own reservation is the bedroom trailing unit in this legislation is not as Family Friendly as what was passed by the voters in prop e or even what the city has previously adopted in programs like homesf in which at least 10 of the multiroom units would be would have at least three bedrooms. I recognize there are Market Conditions that make it challenging to build multiroom units, but developer have told me that they do this in every other city, why not San Francisco . On world tours day, mayor breed and San Francisco announced that we would launch a child and youth friendly initiative. If we want San Francisco to be a child and youth friendly city, we have to start setting standards for ourselves. With that said, the s the ciy has been working with us in this. Theres no reason why 100 Affordable Housing and housing on educator land should have less familyfriendly elements than other projects. Therefore, i would like to duplicate this file so we can continue to improve on our Housing Projects. So i would like to duplicate a file clerk mr. President , thats a sole president yee oh, okay. Clerk you dont need one. President yee so the motion has been made. Okay. Then, colleagues, for the original, then, can we take this same house, same call . Without objection, this ordinance is passed on First Reading unanimously. [gavel]. President yee madam clerk, lets go to item 45. Clerk mr. President , you still need to take action on the duplicate file. Were you sending that back to committee . President yee okay. Make a motion to take the duplicate file and send it back to committee. Can i take this same house, same call . Clerk you need a second. President yee i need a second now. Seconded by supervisor fewer. Can i take this same house, same call . Okay. Then the motion passes. [gavel]. President yee madam clerk, lets go to item 45. Clerk item 45 is an ordinance to amend the housing code to revise the requirements for heating in Residential Rental units and affirming the ceqa determination. President yee okay. Colleagues, can we take this same house, same call . Without objection, this ordinance is passed on First Reading unanimously. [gavel]. President yee madam clerk, please call item number 46. Clerk item 46 is an ordinance to amend the administrative code to require an annual report analyzing the fit between Housing Needs associated with job growth by wages in San Francisco and Housing Production by affordability in the city. President yee colleagues, can we take this item clerk mr. President , you have a someone on the roster. President yee oh, supervisor mar . Sorry. Supervisor mar thank you, president yee. I just wanted to make some remarks on this item. This legislation will require the Planning Department to produce an annual jobs housing fit report, providing important new data and analysis to inform our citys efforts to truly address the Housing Affordability crisis in a more thoughtful, strategic, and impactful way, the annual jobs housing fit report will analyze the alignment or misalignment job growth by wage level. Planning commissioners have been asking for this for years, so i commissioned the first ever fit report in october. This initial report found that we need to build 18,000 affordable units for low and moderate income households while we have already over entitled high Income Housing through 2026. So in short, the Housing Affordability crisis is worsening, the status quo is increasing, and we are failing low and moderate income wage earners and their family. Not enough attention is being paid to now rapid jo
